Runs on your device · Your file never leaves your device.
Get a PDF as Markdown: headings become #, ## and ###, bold and italic are kept, and tables come out as proper Markdown tables. Paste it into a README, a wiki, Notion, Obsidian, or a prompt for an AI assistant that reads Markdown better than PDF.
Headings are chosen by their size relative to the body text, the way a reader sees them, so a report keeps its outline. Right-to-left text stays in logical order.
Everything runs on your device. The PDF is never uploaded, so an internal document or a contract can go through it without a second thought.

Where it runs
In your browser; the file is never uploaded
Not for: Scanned PDFs, and pages whose images matter — use OCR or PDF to Word.
Frequently asked questions
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs inside your browser on your own device. The file never leaves your computer or phone, which is also why the tool keeps working when the connection drops.
Why would I want Markdown instead of Word?
Markdown is plain text with light structure: it works in wikis, README files, note apps and AI prompts, and it diffs and versions cleanly. Word is for documents that will be printed or edited with layout.
Are images included?
Not in Markdown — it has no way to carry the image data. Convert to Word if the images matter.
It made everything a heading
That happens with decorative PDFs where the body text is unusually large. Convert to plain text instead, or to Word, where the same page reads naturally.
